<br />
Whenever a player is at a tournament under sponsor's exemption, it's assumed they will make themselves available to the media. <br />
<br />
Wie wasn't under an exemption at the US Women's Open however, but the tournament directors did arrange for her to be available frequently - always on walkie-talkies with each other knowing where she was and ensuring she's come to the staging area. <br />
<br />
It's in the tournament's interest to make anything newsworthy available to press - and everyone (except Vijay...) usually happily obliges, even after Wie withdrew in that second round. Just about all pro golfers understand where their checks are coming from. <br />

Of course not, you smoothie. She should not be in this situation to begin with. Since she is, she ought to be as pithy as possible and avoid the sugar-coated optimism.<br />

Brucker, check the weather for western New York (you can read, no?) and you'll find out what sun is. I do envy the sleep in til noon concept, since I cannot last beyond 6 AM, no matter how hard I try to sleep in. Just how I'm wired, I guess.

Do you think Michelle Wie should learn to act like a PGA pro and just storm off the course refusing to answer any questions by reporters?<br />

<br />
Or Wie could learn to act like many PGA pros and actually win a pro tournament someday.<br />

The fact we didn't really write about Wie's 84 was just killing you, huh? <br />
